Definitely an edc knife!
Definitely an edc knife! I made the decision to purchase this knife because I wanted to retire my Griptilian which I've owned about 20 years. It was my 1st real quality blade, in comparison it's more substantial then its counter part the bugout. There is nothing wrong with the Benchmade bugout, accept that, it's good qualities work against it in my case. 1st the ergonomics, it feels very comfortable in the hand, i have small to medium size hands. I work as a handyman so there not skinny frail hands either. The knife is light, thin and it carries very well, you don't notice it's even there, and that's my concern. The griptilian is much bulkier/ robust so if it accidentally slips out of your pocket, you will feel it. Not do with the bugout. I enjoy using a more fuller knife, like the Coldsteel Recone 1. I do have other light, smaller blades like the Dosier which is a close comparison to the Bugout in size, weight and overall performance. It's not a 100% equivalent but at a fraction of the cost, it's pretty darn close, i choose not to carry the dosier for the same reason. It doesn't cost the same but the end result is a lost blade. If you make the purchase you won't be disappointed with the bugout, it's everything you thought it would be. I returned it, because I didn't want to toss it in a drawer and never use it but it is a good everyday carry. Hope this helps

The perfect gift knife.
I bought this knife as a gift for someone not into knives but who I read as someone who might get into knives with some pushing. They appreciated it! I replace the scales it comes with with titanium scales. Frankly, I don't really see the point of the CF-Elite scales. They are still plastic (not true carbon fiber), and plastic is plastic, who cares what kind? The plastic scales give this relatively expensive knife a cheaper feel so I definitely recommend metal scales of some sort. Other than that, this is a perfectly designed knife. The blade is thin and very good at slicing. The axis lock is fun and with a little practice very easy to open and close the knife with one handed. The centering was perfect out of the box and after disassembling and reassembling it was still perfect. The pivot is buttery smooth with the bronze phosphor washers after I applied some knife pivot lube. People say the springs wear out but frankly I have not experienced that myself. Other than the scales, the only real downside is probably the price.

C’est un couteau extrêmement bien fait, très léger, parfait pour une utilisation quotidienne. C’est le deuxième que j’achète. Le premier est dans ma rotation habituelle, le nouveau va en reserve. L’acier S30V est excellent et avec de la pratique il est aisé de maintenir un tranchant idéal et durable.

Super couteau d'une grande marque Américaine ! 100% authentique dans une boîte scellée. Finitions ok, lame bien centrée, coupe ok, packaging ok ; l'ouverture nécessitera d'être rodée. Couteau EDC ultra-léger et très fin, plutôt Gentleman que Bushcraft. 20% moins cher ici que sur d'autres sites de VPC de couteaux, j'ai craqué 💖

Excellent couteau et la nouvelle matière utilisée pour le manche le rend beaucoup plus rigide que sur les modèles précédents.

Couteau léger, parfaitement affûté dès la sortie de la boîte.

Ce couteau est très leger et comfortable en main mais malgré sa legerté il est tout de même robuste bon la chose qui fache c'est le prix un peu exorbitant mais on connais benchmade mais franchement ce couteau est vraiment plaisant a utiliser aussi l'affutage d'usine est très grossier c'est braiment pas ouf donc je vous conseil de réaffuter le couteau pour une meilleur experience
